Beautiful amber color with compact head. A rich malt and caramel backbone, moderately sweet, with strong quality hopping.
Very good.

Can at Endo’s, thanks to Mini and Bird, 11/11/14. Very lightly hazed golden with a decent white covering that retains well. Nose is pine, pissy tinge, sticky hops, citric rind, skunked essence, orange pith, straw. Taste comprises skunky hop, pine, orange pith, dank notes, tangerine, mandarin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a skunky hop wash. Solid dank hop bastard - could fill my fridge with this bugger.

Hazy amber, thin head. Aroma has a lot of piney, woody hop. Palate is similar, with moderate bitterness, and some mellow crystal malts and a bit of biscuity character as well.

On tap at The Porch. Pours nearly clear copper with a long lasting cream-colored head. Flavor is fresh, citrusy, pineapple, earthy; fairly bitter. Aroma is a little muted, hopefully it opens up. I get a little pine, biscuit, earth, caramel. Carbonation average, body medium. Doesn’t taste imperial. This is pretty fine, but I was hoping for more.

Tap at Collins Pub, Seattle. Colour is clear orange with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, some citrus, massive hops, hints of sweetness and malts. Well, lacks drinkability like most of the overly hopped dipas.

Draft @ Drover’s Run. Merry friggin Christmas to me… who woulda thought the newly remodeled Jacques Spur (off Highway 95, 20 miles from Lewiston) had a top shelf beer selection?! Bright golden pour with a thick, creamy finger of white head. Tons of lacing for the entire shaker. Nose is somewhat muted, but in all fairness it was served a bit too cold. Citrus, tropical fruit, and floral hops. Sweet and enticing. The flavor is huge hoppy goodness. Citrus, tropical fruit, floral… just a hint of pine. A medium body and moderate bitterness. Great flavors. I had a couple pints with dinner and I am impressed. Bale Breaker is on the radar.

Draft - Lots of pine and caramel. Clear copper with a rich beige head. Balanced hoppy and very nice. I don’t get any of the chocolate or spice though.
